How about MacNeil that advertises in all the car mags? US company. The mats are really the all-weather things, not carpet, and I think they're custom fit. I don't know the prices, though. Just a thought.

They have the hole to latch on to the hook to prevent floor mat from causing interference with the gas pedal .... runaway Toyota/Lexus.

I hope you found nice mats, thug9030.

... just in case you didn't... or someone else is looking, I bought some front Llyod's mats from autoanything.com. Spent "$77.50 with a $5 coupon and free shipping. Go here to find a coupon.

They were these:

Lloyd Ultimat Custom Floor Mats
SKU 3355204
Part # UM5

They are excellent quality, pile carpet with the retainer hook hole. Fit perfectly. I got tired of the beige carpets showing dirt so easily so went with the darker, smoke color (it's is black/dark grey/brown). The pictures don't do them justice. I've already gotten compliments on them from people, including my wife.

Weathertech.com appears to have very nice mats.

I would be wary about those Weathertech mats. I bought a set for my stepfather for use in his 2005 4Runner. I bought the all weather mats and he loved them...for a while. He came home one day and told me that whilst driving down the highway, the part of the mat with the clip broke and the mat slid forward. This then pushed the accelerator pedal to the floor and pushed him to about 90mph. He was able to keep calm and stop the car, but I don't think that I would trust these mats again.
